Years turn into wind

At General Xie's camp in the south, the night deepened, a chill wind echoing through the tents. General Xie stood before a map, his expression gloomy, his eyes gleaming coldly. Beside him stood a mysterious man, clad in a black robe, his face shrouded in shadow, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes.

"That kid Ling Xiaotian actually dared to plan an ambush on my people!" General Xie slammed the table hard, his tone full of anger.

The black-robed man remained calm, curling his lips slightly and sneered, "General, why don't we take advantage of his strategy and use his relationship with that woman? We'll have a better chance of success."

General Xie pondered for a moment, then nodded, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes: "Since he has someone in love, let's make him watch that woman being tortured in front of him. Since he has a weakness, let's start with this woman!"

The black-robed man nodded and whispered, "I have already planted several spies in his general's mansion, waiting for the opportunity to act, just waiting for the general's order."

A few days later, all seemed peaceful in Ling Xiaotian's mansion. Cheng Yuwei was busy in the laboratory, trying to find a more effective anti-poison agent. Ling Xiaotian, on the other hand, frequently traveled between the barracks and the mansion, dealing with the mounting workload. Although he occasionally had brief moments of tenderness, he was always exhausted by the constant pressure.

That night, Ling Xiaotian returned home early. Cheng Yuwei was in the study, recording some experimental data. She heard footsteps outside the door and looked up. It was Ling Xiaotian standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.

"Are you still busy so late?" He walked closer, gently placed a cloak on her shoulders, and scolded her with a hint of pampering: "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Cheng Yuwei raised her eyes and smiled, a gentle look between her eyebrows: "I always want to make more preparations, if there is another attack, we can be more confident." She looked down at her notes and said softly, "Xiaotian, you brought me to this era, didn't you let me do something within my ability?"

Ling Xiaotian looked at her quietly, his eyes soft and warm: "Yuwei, you are not doing anything for me, but working hard for the people in this troubled world. I see every bit of your efforts."

Cheng Yuwei's heart moved, and she couldn't help but whispered: "But sometimes, I am also afraid. Will all this really have any results..."

Ling Xiaotian reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheek, his tone firm: "Every step we take is a road to hope. As long as you are by my side, I have nothing to fear."

The two smiled at each other, and a warm atmosphere filled the quiet night, as if all the storms in the world could not disturb their tranquility at this moment.

However, at this heartwarming moment, a personal attendant hurried in to report: "General, I just received news that General Xie seems to be planning a surprise attack, and one of our defenses has been breached."

Ling Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He nodded gently to Cheng Yuwei and said firmly, "I'll go check on the situation. Don't worry."

Cheng Yuwei held his hand tightly, her eyes full of encouragement: "I will wait for you at the mansion, be careful."

Ling Xiaotian smiled faintly, then turned and left, his eyes brimming with unyielding fighting spirit. However, shortly after he left, the spies lurking in the Grand Marshal's Mansion quietly took action.

That night, Cheng Yuwei was sorting through her lab materials in her room when she heard a slight noise outside her window. She frowned, her mind on alert. Suddenly, several men in black climbed in through the window, murderous intent in their eyes, and surrounded her.

Cheng Yuwei was startled, but quickly calmed down. She threw the lamp at one of them and took the opportunity to rush to the door. However, the enemy had already anticipated her reaction. One of them blocked her way and sneered, "Dr. Cheng, come with us. General Xie really wants to see you."

Cheng Yuwei gritted her teeth, thinking of a way to escape. Just then, the secret guards arrived, and a fierce fight broke out between the two sides. Cheng Yuwei took the opportunity to retreat to the corner of the room, observing the enemy with cold eyes, but a sense of unease always hung in her heart.

During the fierce battle, several men in black retreated in a hurry when they saw the situation was not good. However, one of them sneered and threatened: "Dr. Cheng, sooner or later you will fall into our hands. Don't be too happy!"

After the secret guards escorted her back safely, Cheng Yuwei's face darkened, realizing that General Xie's plot was far from over. She silently vowed in her heart: no matter how dangerous the road ahead, she would fight alongside Ling Xiaotian and never back down.
